April 23, 2013

Residents of Ketewel customary village, gianyar regency, Bali, are forbidden to held religious ritual for 42 days as a resident gave birth to twin, who are one male and one female.

“It has been arranged in ‘Pawos’ (article) 70 ‘awig-awigDesaPakraman’ (customary village regulation) of Ketewel,” said the Chief of Ketewel customary village I Wayan Loci.

After that the residents of Ketewel customary village also have to held “pemendak” ritual at KahyanganPelinggih Ida BhataraRatu Mas Murubdan Mas Maketel Temple.
